The outside temperature is always displayed when your
vehicle
is running. You can change it from Fahrenheit to
Celsius by pressing the INFO button (above the radio)
until ENGLISHMETRIC RESET displays. Once
displayed, press the
INFO RESET button to select.
The outside temperature sensor is located near the front
grille. The sensor
can be affected by road or engine heat
during idling.
slow driving or when the engine 1s first
started after a short trip. In order to ensure proper
automatic climate control operation, the outside air
temperature display may
not update as quickly as
expected. This is to allow the air surrounding the outside
temperature sensor to be as close
to the actual outside
conditions as possible. This is determined by how much
time has elapsed since the vehicle has been turned
off
and by vehicle speed. Press this
button to deliver air through the floor, middle
or windshield outlets. The system will stay
in the
selected mode
until the MODE button is pushed again.
Press the up or clown arrow to cycle through the
available modes.

When the system is set for automatic operation, sensors
will control the air delivery mode.
Air will come from
the floor, middle or windshield outlets. The fan speed
will vary as the system maintains the selected
temperature setting.
Be careful not
to put anything over the solar sensor
located in the middle
of the instrument panel near the
windshield. This sensor is used
by the automatic system
to regulate temperature.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine To-find your comfort zone, start with the 75°F (24°C)
setting and allow about 20 minutes for the system to
regulate. Turn the
TEMP/AUTO knob to adjust the
temperature if necessary.
If you choose 60°F ( 1 6"C),
the system will remain at that maximum cooling setting
and will
not regulate fan speed. If you choose the
temperature of
90°F (32'C), the system will remain at
that maximum heating setting and will not regulate fan
speed. Choosing either maximum setting will not cause
the system
to heat or cool any faster.
With
the: automatic setting, the air conditioning
compressor automatically cycles
when needed to cool
the air. In cold weather, when the system senses the need
for heat, the airflow will be directed out the floor
outlets.
As the interior temperature approaches a desired
setting, the blower speed will decrease.
To maintain
interior comfort, the airflow may move
to the instrument
panel air outlets and floor outlets (bi-level mode). On
bright
sunny days in cold weather. the airflow may come
out
of the air conditioning outlets (AC mode) to
maintain comfort and prevent stuffiness.
If your vehicle is sitting out on a hot day and you have it
set on AUTO, the air will first flow out the floor air
outlets for
a few seconds. That is normal. This is to
expel hot air from the air outlets. As the air
is cooled,
the airflow will move through the air conditioning
outlets. If you start your vehicle with the fan setting on
HI, it will skip the air conditioning purge.
To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather, the system
will delay turning on the fan
until warm air is available.
The length
of delay depends on the outside air
temperature, engine coolant temperature or the time
since the engine was last started.
As the coolant warms
up, the blower fan speed will gradually increase and
air will flow from the heater outlets, with some airflow
to the windshield to prevent fogging under most
normal conditions.
If you leave your vehicle, the system will remember the
control setting the next time
you start your engine,
except for recirculation and defrost. Each ignition cycle
cancels recirculation, whereas,
DEFROST will change
to automatic operation when the ignition is shut off and
then turned back
on.
